Child from the Dungeon

Chapter -1: The Child from the Dungeon

( Before Chapter 1)

Alas ...

Inside the Dungeon ...

There exists a severed giant black hand ...

A hand from who knows where it came from, as the severed giant black hand then stands inside the Dungeon.

For years, the Giant Black Hand had slowly changed into a tree, a black tree that produces black fruits, a pitch-black fruit that contains a black liquid.

As the fruit starts to spread around the tree, the fruit smells first attracted some of the minor beings inside the Dungeons, from insects, birds, and many others as they began to eat the fruit that grows for the first time.

As they eat it, they consumed the black liquid as the black liquid then engulfs them from the inside, turning their physique as their body then turns black like a shadow while the creatures slowly transform to their new upgraded form.

As the creatures turn, some of them decided to stay to sated the black fruit while the remaining others decided to go out to the opened Gate as the black creatures rampage on the other monster territories and Dungeons using the Gates as their door.

As it happens, many of the monsters that had regained sentience then discover where did the black creatures come from as suddenly a Gate opens which led them back to the Dungeon where the Black Tree resides.

When the monster sees it, they then were immediately attracted by the black fruit's smell which they then eat with joy as the black liquid inside it then slowly engulfs them too, transforming them into a more advanced form.

Not just that, for some monsters the fruit also increases their intelligence as the now sentient monsters then gather more numbers as they then make them worship the Black Tree, from the ones that already had eaten the black fruit to the ones that just went into the Dungeon as they instead take care of the Black Tree.

Years went by in that Dungeon where the monsters exists there from the one being blacked to the ones that were still normal, they decided to worship the Giant Black Hand Tree as they worshipped it as the right hand of the Black Shadow God.

They worshipped it, take care of it, and then praised it as the monsters create their stay there, under the tree's shadows as its leaves cover most of the Dungeon with its blue light leaves in contrast to its trunk.

But someday, without the monsters expecting it, the Black Tree then stops growing more fruit which slowly decreases the number of black creatures and monsters in number as their main source of food is slowly decreasing since they are addicted to it which also makes them deny every other food besides the Black Fruit.

As the blacked ones die one by one, their corpses turn back into the black shadowy liquid like the thing inside the Black Fruit as their black liquids return to the Black Tree root as the Black Tree then glows for the first time, the time where the Black Tree due to absorbing back the blacked ones then grow a Giant Black Fruit that shocks the other monsters who see it.

As the Giant Black Fruit falls, the monsters approached it but only to find no Black Liquid instead of a little black creature that is lying still on the fruit's inner side. The monsters there were shocked as they see and touch it, only to make the black shadowy liquid around the little black creature's body engulf them and absorb them into its body as the black creature's body is getting more shaped, revealing it to be some sort of a humanoid-like baby as the baby then cries for the first time inside the Dungeon.

From its cries, the black tears from it come down to the ground as it automatically summons the newly formed Black Creatures that are more powerful, more advanced, and more intelligent as the Black Creatures or Monsters then worshiped the baby for their rebirth as they called the Baby with a name.

" Bet ... za ... lel .... "

A name from nowhere that the black monsters uttered without knowing its origin as they all chant it, believing that the name's very meaning is based on shadow, as the black monsters believed that the baby is born in their God's Shadow, the shadow of the Black Tree that they worshipped.

When the monsters chant the name, the baby continues to cry as it opens its eyes for the first time the Baby then sees the world for the first time as a living being.

........

..............

( Many times after the Baby was born.)

" It .. It's... " Duncan and the other Hunter say in their stutter when they see it.

" It's a child .....!!!!!! "

" A baby !!!!!! " they all said as they see the black baby crawling toward them as the remnants of the Black Monsters returns to it while the baby crawls as it sees Duncan's eyes.

At that very moment, Duncan was shocked as he feels that the baby is calling for him somehow, asking him somehow to adopt him while he was gifted with another feeling that tells the black baby must be a gift for him from God as the baby was meant to become his and his wife's first child.

When Duncan thinks of it, suddenly, one of the Hunters decided to attack the baby believing it to be some sort of monster which Duncan then stops him from doing so.

" Duncan what the hell !!!!!???? "

" Why are you protecting it !!!!!?????? " the man asks Duncan then replies that the black baby is not a threat as he then picks it up and he then realizes that the baby is a boy.

" You're a tiger, aren't you? " he raises the baby up while the other hunter then thinks that the black baby is controlling Duncan which they then decide to attack Duncan since they believe that he is now a dead-weight and some of them agree since they all want for Duncan to die to take his rank from him somehow.

As the hunters attack, Duncan then fends them off while protecting the Black baby boy as he uses his abilities to cut the other hunters off.

< Sharp Slicer >

With that slice, Duncan managed to cut off some of the hunters with ease as blood splattered from their now dead bodies.

" M****f****er !!!!!! "

" I'll kill you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " said one of the remaining hunters in the Party as they proceed to attack Duncan for their fallen comrades Duncan then decides to murder them all.

" That's all of them .... " Duncan says to the baby as he hugs Duncan, holding himself tight in his arms.

" Don't worry, they won't hurt you anymore ... "

" After all these hunters' fate is sealed when they try to cross blades with me. "

" Besides, these hunters belong to a guild that always scavenges the other hunters' goods. "

" So they of all people should aware that their target may strike back at them or strike them first. "

" Right? " Duncan asks the baby boy.

" Betzalel ... was it? " Duncan calls the baby's name as he remembers that the black monsters that he killed earlier mentioned that name as they point their hands in the baby's direction as they all call the name, implying to Duncan that the monsters are calling the baby to warn him.

" Right? " Duncan asks as the baby just looked at him with his pale white eyes.

" My name is Duncan ...., Duncan Grimshaw .... "

" From here on, .... "

" I .... "

" I will be your father .... "
